Friar Financial Aid

Financial Aid is awarded without prejudice or distinction and is based solely on financial need. All students, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, are welcome to apply for funding.

You may apply for financial aid concurrently with your enrollment application to Servite High School. If you submit a completed application, which includes the online application along with supporting documentation, by the admissions deadlines, you will receive a notification of award estimate within the same time frame as you receive your admission decision. It should be noted that financial aid awards are for one school year only. If you wish to be considered for assistance in subsequent school years, you must re-apply each year.

THE FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR EARLY ADMISSIONS IS NOVEMBER 9, 2018. THE FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR REGULAR ADMISSIONS IS JANUARY 28, 2019. If you miss the deadline, you may still apply up to the final Friar Financial Aid deadline of April 30, 2019. However, your application will be processed along with all other applicants including returning students.

REMEMBER, YOU MUST SUBMIT NOT ONLY YOUR ONLINE FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION, BUT ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AS WELL. 2017 TAX RETURNS AND W2s WILL BE ACCEPTED. IF SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION IS SUBMITTED LATER THAN THE DEADLINES STATED ABOVE, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR NOTIFICATION OF AWARD WITHIN THE SAME TIME FRAME AS YOUR ADMISSIONS DECISION.

PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR DIRECTIONS ON APPLYING FOR FRIAR FINANCIAL AID.

RETURNING STUDENTS:

THE FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM REQUIRES THAT FAMILIES RE-APPLY EACH YEAR TO DETERMINE THEIR CONTINUING FINANCIAL NEED. THE APPLICATION DEADLINE IS APRIL 30, 2019. THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO ALLOW FOR COMPLETION OF 2018 TAX RETURNS WHICH ARE REQUIRED ALONG WITH W2s.

If you miss the deadline you may still apply. However, your application will be processed only after all timely-filed applications have been processed first, as there is a limited amount of funds available for financial aid.

IF YOUR APPLICATION IS COMPLETE AND VERIFIED BY APRIL 30 (IT TAKES FACTS ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO VERIFY) YOU WILL RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF YOUR AWARD STATUS IN MAY.
